Hello, I have a few comments to improve your tutorial : 1) You install tmux. tmux is equivalent to screen. So if don't use it, no need to install it. 2) Postfix and mailx. I don't know if Arma servers send mails, but probably not. No need, except if you need it for external administration tasks. 3) curl -> equivalent to wget. like in 1), if you don't use it, don't install it. 4) I don't get why you set -pid, maybe you have a reason to force the process id (if so, tell me ), otherwise, you don't need this and the server could fail to start if this pid is already taken by another process. 5) chmod 777 start.sh => for security reason, never chmod 777 a file nor a directory. Allow just the least rights. 6) to list running screen session use -ls not -r 7) Last but not least, I don't know if you run your server as root, but don't do that. I mean, it "could" be okay for private tests or for playing with friends (using the appropriate firewall rules), but running a process like this with root, on the internet, is dangerous. One could find a security issue on Arma3 server and execute shell command, take control of your entire machine and you don't want that. Don't take all my comments the wrong way, I hope it will help you Cheers.

I don't know cpiofs but yeah some filenames are really a pain in the ass. For example, directory like "Arma 3 Server". I finally renamed it as Arma3Server and repackaged the server side files. Btw I host packages mods on my domain because it's often much faster/stable for download. Anyway if people don't trust my domain (or me), this could be easily changed in the installation script. If you see anything which could be improved on the current release, I'm very open to suggestion and everything that could make the installation/configuration process better. Cheers.

After few hours, using my arma3server base and Celmi tutorial, I made this works on docker - You can check out my repository, in the exile directory, you have everything to make a basic game server launching. - I managed to make the Exile server works with Tanoa (so cool). - If you want to use it in production, you need to configure battleye / steamapi (security things). For those who don't know what is docker and how to run my files, I will make a linux script which can be used to auto install everything. EDIT: Contrary to the main post, I use Debian 8.x (Jessie) EDIT 2: In a next step, I will try to integrate traders as an option to this Exile server Cheers.

You have this error because you are using an older release of mysql, probably 5.5 or older. You need to run a 5.6 MySQL server

Hello, This thread is old and I see some people having trouble with the new release, so I'd like to help. I'm working on updating the tutorial with the new software release. I'll keep this post up to date. About me: I started to automate the process of installing arma 3 server using Docker few months ago. You can find my work here : https://github.com/jessytheripper/dockerfiles. These days, I'm playing Exile Mod, so I'm currently creating a docker configuration to run ExileMod Server. As soon as it works well, I will update the github repository with this. See ya.
